[TheVideoExpertFTW]

[rml695]

@alisaele1 Nice. :)

[DarkLuigi4321]

[lokks707]

Watch at 1:56 to see how to properly keep your display screen scratch-free.

[rml695]

@lokks707 Note that the system is well over ten years old. My vision was not as good back then as it is now, so I couldn't pick up on cosmetic shortcomings such as self induced screen scratches.

[exeblues2000]

really good review.

[ADEXvideo]

J'avais en Jaune.avec ledition pikachu pokemon

[rml695]

@ADEXvideo All I understood was something about the Pikachu Edition of Pokemon.

[TheColorPaul]

@rml695 I think hes talking about the yellow and blue Limited Edition Pokemon Game Boy Color.

[SuperTwins2010]

nice vid

[obichika]

I wish I would've got one when they came out. Lol

[rml695]

@Lakai2433 I'm not fat.

[thewindwaker101]

what is your real name?

[CoWxGaming]

he didnt really review it... all he did was say what the parts where he never said what he thought of it

[rml695]

@CoWxGaming U know I think you may be right, but I believe I took that into account with future reviews.

[CoWxGaming]

@rml695 oh okay i didnt know that... i didnt really watch many of your vids

[finalfrontier001]

i had the pikachu pokemon edition

[MegaLex32]

The gbc can play original gb games

[iXecFTW]

They should make a new gameboy..... but this time with leds in it. please make this come true the gameboy is the most epic thing

[lochlandb]

[Laura94K]

Great review! Love the GBC haha :)

[rml695]

@Laura94K Thanks :)

[urmomishot45]

does it hve light? some1 respond fast

[rml695]

@urmomishot45 You mean as in a backlight? Nope.

[urmomishot45]

@rml695 so you wldnt be able to play it in da dark?

[rml695]

@urmomishot45 This is correct, that and being difficult for me to see unless it's in a direct light source, has lead me to move strictly to my Game Boy Advance SP for game boy titles.

[mukifurlan]

@urmomishot45 However, back in the day they did sell a light tht literaly looked like a lightpost which was plugged into the output located in the left. I remember the brand i bought was Pelican.

[XxRusty96xX]

@mukifurlan I have that

[guitarhk95]

@toastedtesticles

if you can get your hands on 1 just get it i cant believe how i got mine it was 2 years ago at an game store for all new games wierd right:D

[blakethegamer98]

i like the yellow one better than the other colors

[MegaTommy11]

were do u get the gbc (gameboy color) games? i only have gba (gameboy advanced) games and they dont work on gbc. :(

[rml695]

@MegaTommy11 I'd collected mine over the years. The only places now are probably eBay or GameStop or some other such place.

[stanisci59]

@MegaTommy11 me to i got one game for my GBC i lost all the rest(games). i got it when i was 5 i think. it still work to this day 12 years.

[fidel70able]

[fidel70able]

[pivotXPpro]

[MegaTommy11]

@pivotXPpro ARGGG!

[alanisgirl2010]

My mom bought me a purple game boy color for christmas on the way back in 1998 when I was about sixteen.

[lilah66]

[rml695]

@lilah66 Thanks. :)

[toastedtesticles]

so with the power adapter, u could hook it up 2 the wall & play without batteries? if so wut kind of adapter?

[rml695]

@toastedtesticles Never tried that, so couldn't tell you.

[CxC2007]

its that the Pikachu edition?

I have a blue one.

[rml695]

@CxC2007 It's not. I wanted the yelllow pokemon edition, but they didn't have it.

[Yackmecflaber]

@rml695 i have it! r u jealus? wait u talkin bout the half yello half blue

[rml695]

@Yackmecflaber Correct.

[BrandonScott1001]

i enjoyed it! your a good reviewer!

[charljenky29]

The a and b buttons are very nice to use on the gameboy color

[jaluttrell]

I thought you had sight disabilities. How do you play with a small screen? also, Do you have any modern systems? like psp or ds or ps3?

[rml695]

@jaluttrell I have a Wii & DSi. For the longest time I was hoping they'd put a back light in that thing - and my prayers were answered with the GBA SP. Ever since that one came along, I don't use my others all that much.

[ClaudiaLeBebe]

Wow, you're the only person I know that actually use your real name to save a file. I always used a nickname.

[jarskiXD]

i got one of those! a green one!

[JaspronProductions]

What camcorder did you use for this video?

[rml695]

My Canon PowerShot SX10IS still camera, that also does video.

[JaspronProductions]

Oh Ok.

[AnnoyingLittleShit]

I love my purple GBC... I've had it since I was 6.

[Joemamma69000]

@AnnoyingLittleShit (Comment Posted Sunday June 6 2010 7:42 PM) i lost my purple GBC but then a friend gave me his yellow game boy color for free (actually i was looking for my purple one 4 months ago then he offered his to me which actually took him 4 months to find (he just moved in a new house and was looking through boxes) and gave it to me yesterday (Saturday June 5) so yeah) don't ask why i put the date and time i posted the comment on it's force of habit i do it sometimes

[MarkNES80]

My bro had one yellow gameboy color, but he LOST the last part of the first 6 colors: Berry(my own was lost, but my friend gave me one), Grape(my own has a speaker named Sparky, because of the crazy speaker...), Kiwi(Got one for Christmas in 2008), Yellow(nothing to say), Teal(Got it on my 14th birthday), and Clear Purple (Got one for my 13th birthday, but the speaker broke, so disposed, a second one for my 14th birthday). I'll also try to get the bonus Gameboy Colors. Thanks for reading! -Mark

[legonerfstarwarsguy]

Your video won't work...

It's all black...

There isn't even a Control Bar with the Pause/Play, etc. ...

[rml695]

I've had that problem with other videos. Refresh should usually fix this problem.

[legonerfstarwarsguy]

I already tried.

[rml695]

hmmmmmm...weird. :S

[DeathAdder83]

i really miss colorful, consoles and controllers. everything is black or white now, no fun.

[XxRusty96xX]

@DeathAdder83 not psp's and ds's

[DeathAdder83]

@XxRusty96xX Yeah there are a decent amount of colors to chose from on those now, but if I remember correctly, at launch.....the Game Boy Color had a bunch of colors to chose from.

[XxRusty96xX]

@DeathAdder83 lol it was supposed to. It was the gameboy COLOR. It was part of their marketing to have a color for each letter. Even at launch xD

[thedragoonknight]

I don't know if you know the answer this, but I recently bought Zelda LA, and it was in a gold colored cart..

is it special at all? I've only seen the Black and Grey carts

[rml695]

Sounds like it would be a limited edition.

[tomasv26]

your videos r the best they help me out

[rml695]

Thanks. :)

[thedragoonknight]

Thats odd, I've never seen a Yellow GBC

i must live under a rock

[ChuggaaMan]

ok anyways verry nice video, love your work!:)

[ChuggaaMan]

could i havee it or the zelda game?

[rml695]

Nope; nostalgic value. :)

[salasrcp90]

those things were amazing all i would play was pokemon

[Lineriderrocks123]

I have the purple-transparent one, looks awesome and i can play pokemon all day on it :)

[thehermanater]

I just Bought That one to day at a flea market I only have Super Mario Brod Deluxe though

[spider486]

this is my fave gameboy of all time awesome review you have a new subscriber

[byteXI]

Great game :D

[rml695]

Why do you think that? (just curious).

[NinjaMuffinMaster]

That's Dandelion, not Yellow. The Pokemon Color is expensive..$30..

[rml695]

I always called it yellow. Thanks for the info :)

[fullmetallpiano]

So there is a gameboy color dandelion AND a yellow gameboy color?

[NinjaMuffinMaster]

No. The non-limited/special edition colors were: Strawberry, Grape, Kiwi, Dandelion, Teal, and, Atomic Purple.

[ZDAMASTA]

i have the kiwi

[NinjaMuffinMaster]

<3 I just received the Pokemon one. It was only $20.

[haba2426]

does the gameboy advance sp play gameboy color games and old game boy games

please reply

[rml695]

The GBA SP is compatible with ALL Game Boy Games. This includes Game Boy/Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Color, and of course, Game Boy Advance.

[residentevilfan265]

thanks man!

you are awesome!!!

[castrewq]

as u were doing this review, i had my gameboy in my hand and it had the same game...zelda dx!

[playstationprodigy1]

awsome review 5/5 nintendo is a great stable console that i grew up wth

[NintendoGameBoyFan11]

it was me i was like please please review it check your comments

[rml695]

Well, you got yer review. :) One thing I will say is I usually don't read comments often because they pile up so quickly I lose track of who says what. Also about 1/4 of the comments I get are insults.

[thebiolizard]

i remember the good old days wen me and my cousin used to connect out GBCs and play pokemon for hours and we would trade pokemon, it was awesome

[TheDevincook]

i miss these old things

[jenkayl]

haha i love that game! ^^

[OldSkoolGam3r]

sweet review. Zelda rules haha

[TerryF377]

i got one from ebay and it cost £1.57 plus FREE postage and packaging lol

[Sudrabsyp]

Cool Review mate!! 5/5

[whitleybaynufc]

ok cool no rush

[whitleybaynufc]

no, earlier in the comments section you said you were going to do a video on it

lol just skim through the comments :)

[rml695]

Oh that. It'll take a while as I want to wait on purchasing more games.

[skotty1992]

i had a game boy color, but the sega game gear wich came out in 89 or 90 was way better

[fullmetallpiano]

Yeah but way bigger too :P

[whitleybaynufc]

can you please do the MKDS and DKR? video as i am in the same situation

:)

[rml695]

I have neither of those game cards.

[peachkino]

oh man memories

[James1o1oUK]

That a bad thing? Im sorry since when did that become "childish"

[James1o1oUK]

Turn of Computer and grow up.

[Beck436]

Link's Awakening, in my opinion, is the quintessential "car ride game."

[GigaGanonMan]

Hey can you do a comparison of the GB Pocket and GBC? People automatically assume that the the GB Pocket is the inferior of the 2 just b/c its an older model. But I recall the Pocket having a bigger screen and being more sleek and compact.

[KyroPwnage]

Omg i go fuck ur self u fuck prick pokemon was the biggest game that came out soooooo talk whatu no u peice f shit u can go die u bitch

[James1o1oUK]

Turn of Computer and grow up.

[thebsdguy]

The music makes one feel so nostalgic.

[rml695]

I have neither of those titles.

[IMBETTERHENU]

this game system is a little outdated now.

i have my modded psp so i could play homebrew and roms so im content.

The system you hold may be outdated but the games are forever, they are great.

my first game system was the game boy pocket.

[baronsambo]

legend of zelda: link's awakening, wind waker, and minsih cap were the best ones

[EMONT2006]

they should remake this same model and make it back-lit that would be amazing. i would buy that in a heart beat

[iTouchiReviews]

OMG that would be sweet as hell. This had to be the best handheld ever.

[x3n0nfr4n]

do you care for sega much ?

[rml695]

Not really had too much experience with them.

[fruitypebbles904]

i got the gold pokemon/pichu version of the color after my gb pcket got stolen:(

[1mdjsabvr]

can somebody tell me if you can put you ds/ dsi no your tv or pc

[rml695]

Not that I know of.

[1mdjsabvr]

i mean like here is an example a psp you can conect to your tv can you do that with th dsi/'ds

[rml695]

No. The single port is meant soley for power purposes.

[cmsalejandro]

i think your cool! :)

[rml695]

Thanks. :)

[Dontpickmelast101]

i have the pocket

[rml695]

So do I, in fact I have a review of it. :)

[siccxninjaxh2o]

[piplup10203854]

i love my game boy color and i had pokemon yellow too. i had a berry game boy color. Good luck on getting another star for SM64DS. mine didn't have a charger just ran on 2 double A batteries

[rml695]

If I mentioned a charger I apologize. I do have a double a power pack but that thing is so old it's not holding a charge anymore; hasn't for years.

[piplup10203854]

[1mdjsabvr]

[wiimakevideosforlif3]

[ThelncredibleAtheist]

[1pdc1]

[rml695]

Not at all. :) Someome requested this video ages ago and I wanted to get it to them. :) I love my DSi. In fact, after writing this comment, I think I may try my luck at another star in SM64DS.
